HNIC showed video of a couple of previous jousting matches between these two over the last couple of years. Elliotte Friedman mentioned that weasel Burrows hasn't scored in almost a calendar year and has points in only three games this season. He's backed up.

What's great for me is Burrows antics are back up but his point production is way down. Perfect scenario in watching his demise. He'll be a 4th line antagonist for Florida, Montreal or Dallas soon enough.

Perfect fit.

Wouldnt shock me if a player got Burrows jersey over is head and he had a Habs one on underneath.

I don't hate Kessel. I'm totally Thankful that he wanted out of Boston. Like him or not, he's a great player, but he didn't want to be a Bruin & he let that be known. I respect that of him, because how many times have we seen a guy get signed to team for a lot of money for a lot of years & he doesn't perform. And if he's not in a happy environment the chances of that increase. The other thing is that I think considering how the Bruin fans treat the guy he keeps to himself pretty good. He doesn't show up the Bruins, or the fans, he doesn't mouth off to the media. And he has every right to do so. I think we need to grow up, because to me. Kessel certainly has & continues to do so. But I certainly hate Burrows & his pansy antics are not surprising at all.

I agree with all that mostly, and I really don't have anything against Kessel (look forward to rooting for him again this week).

But you have to admit, there is something about him that just beckons mocking.

Maybe it's how he always looks so dopey, or his notoriously lackluster work ethic, or the last-picked at All-Star game thing, or whatever. The Jeopardy picture was hilarious. The video of him huffing and puffing on the bike was hilarious. The stories of avoiding the weight room and mop haired, double-chin appearance are just too much.

He's just so mockable. Combine that with his somewhat lame departure from Boston and I think he'll always be a playful target of fan jokes, which is what this is.

That said, he a great player and probably a decent guy. I actually stuck up for him in the John Scott affair, and I wish that he pounded the daylights out of Burrows.

I can see the issue's of why he's a target, but I think there's other players in the league that deserve that kind of treatment more. Like an Alex Burrows is a prime example.

Burrow's is one step away from a full blown cognitive disorder -- Pretty soon -- in a total state of confusion -- he'll be pulling fingers and biting hair.

When your a smaller guy -- getting involved with a mutant like Scott -- a little stick action is all you can do. It was bacically how guys like Steve Casper and Stump Burridge served notice in their day. The thought of a couple lumberjack shots kept some of the big guys looking over their shoulders. Burrows' antics have no redeeming value at all.
